Something I really enjoy doing on a wedding day, is trying to capture a unique bridal portrait, when the bride isnt even aware that I am doing it! I grabbed this favourite of the bride as she stepped out of the room after having her veil put on.

Do you have a room booked at the Hotel where your reception is? With a creative, professional Edmonton wedding photographer, any hotel room can become a ’set’ for portraits! Lisa had candles and a fireplace in her suite at the Rimrock Hotel in Banff, and it worked beautifully!

Sometimes for the photographer, getting from the initial capture of a wedding day image, to the finished artwork, is an interesting process. In this case, a long story on paper, happened in a wink of an eye in my head: Andrea’s wedding day colours and theme were inspired by the little blue Tiffany boxes that her engagement ring and wedding band came in. The store Tiffanys reminded me of the movie ‘Breakfast at Tiffanys’. Which reminded me of the star Audrey Hepburn. Which reminded me of a popular piece of art featuring a black and white ‘outline’ of Audrey. Which inspired the final portrait of Andrea.
No need to be shy on your wedding day: you ARE the star! So when it comes to your photo session that day, let the super model inside you, loose! Really hamming it up with your expressions lead to gorgeous magazine worthy portraits, and those moments are usually followed by great laughter, leading to some wonderful genuine and candid photos too.
